How about this idea?

Via CalPundit, and Instapundit, we got to OxBlog, where, in examining the issue "Did Bush lie?", we read:
... there is considerable evidence that high-ranking officials, possibly including the Vice President, knew in advance of the State of the Union address that Iraq had not purchased uranium from Niger. If so, all of the officials involved in that process of deception should be severly disciplined.
Which spurred us to thumb through the ol' United States Constitution, where we encounter:
Article II
Section 4. The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

Article I
Section 2. The House of Representatives shall choose their speaker and other officers; and shall have the sole power of impeachment.
Section 3. The Senate shall have the sole power to try all impeachments. When sitting for that purpose, they shall be on oath or affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two thirds of the members present.

Judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States: but the party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment and punishment, according to law.
So, at least we wouldn't have to put up with Rehnquist's absurd attire. (Click on that last link, if you dare!)

If Cheney is impeached (impeacheneyed?), who will Bush turn to?
